This is one of those recipes that you’ve probably seen before. It goes by different names – Holy Cow Cake, Butterfinger Cake etc. Most of the recipes I’ve seen use sweetened condensed milk.

I like to bump up the yum, by using a jar of hot fudge and a jar of caramel topping.

I made this for my 14 year old son’s birthday a few weeks ago. He likes to ask for labor-intensive cakes, but had somehow weasled two birthday cakes out of me this year. So, instead of making the Cannoli Cake he asked for, I made this.

He was happy, because how can you not be happy with chocolate cake infused with caramel and hot fudge? And I was happy because it’s super simple to make.
